Dr. Tom Frieden, is this your Susan Rice moment? Are you expecting the American people to believe what you say regarding the deadly Ebola virus? Despite being Center for Disease Control and Prevention director, how do you know with certainty that the virus is not airborne? Why are you underestimating its transmissibility?

The three American medical people who allegedly followed precautions got the illness and you sat by while they were transported from a hot zone full of Ebola to the United States, where there was no Ebola. You stood by while hundreds of African dictators came to New York City in August 2014. Where were you when Obama sent 3,600 troops to West Africa? Why would you place our troops in the midst of a deadly virus and then have them return to their families?

Why have you not recommended civilian travel restrictions in and out of Ebola infected countries? British Airways did this in August. Why have you not recommended quarantine of contacts? Where have you been with the other “mysterious” illnesses actually brought here by the illegal immigrant children? What about enterovirus D68 an illness endemic to Central America — an illness causing severe respiratory complications, paralysis and now death to five children. Where have you been with the 400 percent increase in tuberculosis in Lynn, Mass. How many illegal immigrants did Lynn receive?

Dr. Frieden, are you a Democrat first and a doctor second? Are you merely a political hack for the Obama administration? Have your politics trumped your common sense and your quest for excellence in your esteemed profession? Your lack of leadership, your dereliction of duty, and your failure to protect the American people has resulted in a serious threat to our health and welfare — this was your mission and you failed.You need to be fired and replaced by a dedicated doctor from the private sector.
